Fungicide – Controls fungal diseases like smuts |
Imidacloprid (360 g/L): This systemic insecticide is part of the neonicotinoid class and provides excellent control against a variety of insect pests, particularly aphids. It acts by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses in insects, ensuring that pests are effectively controlled and cannot damage the crops.
Tebuconazole (12.5 g/L): A powerful fungicide belonging to the triazole class, Tebuconazole is highly effective in controlling a wide spectrum of fungal diseases, including smuts and bunt. It works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, thus preventing fungal growth and spread.
Comprehensive Disease and Pest Control
Fungal Disease Control (Smuts and Bunt): Smuts, such as loose smut and covered smut, can severely impact cereal crops by reducing yield potential and compromising grain quality. Hombre Bayer Ultra’s inclusion of Raxil (the fungicide component) ensures that these fungal diseases are effectively managed right from the seed stage.
By preventing the germination of fungal spores, Raxil helps protect the crop from early infections, promoting healthier plants and improving overall yield.
Aphid Management and Protection Against BYDV: Aphids are notorious for spreading plant diseases, with Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) being one of the most devastating. The Gaucho insecticide component in Hombre Bayer Ultra is specifically formulated to manage aphids by disrupting their feeding behavior.
This ensures that cereal crops are protected from aphid infestation and reduces the likelihood of BYDV transmission, which can cause stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and overall reduced yield.
Stored Grain Pest Control: Another unique advantage of Hombre Bayer Ultra is its ability to protect stored grains. Thanks to the action of Gaucho, the product helps control pests that typically infest stored grains, such as weevils and other grain-feeding insects.
This makes Hombre Bayer Ultra not only a pre-planting treatment but also a valuable solution for post-harvest pest management, ensuring that your crop remains safe even during storage.
